[Dixielandjazz] Haesler's crystal set.

[Ron Wheeler]

I wasn't particularly underprivileged, but I had a crystal set [built it
from a kit as a scouting project] and used it listening to local radio
stations in 1955.

And I never took a vow of poverty... It just turned out that way.

A crystal set?  In the 1950s???  If so, you weren't just Down Under, you 
were Downright Underprivileged!
